14 day Baetea detox, anyone tried?

I plugged in your stats at the Scooby Workshop calculator and you could be eating a lot more than 1,200 a day. Even more than 1,900 - and STILL lose almost 2 pounds a week. I got that you could be eating about 2,500 a day and you would still lose weight.

You absolutely don't have to do a cleanse or anything like that. Just eat less overall calories.0 -
Maybe "things" haven't moved much lately because you aren't eating much.0

The FAQ section on this products webpage made me chuckle a few times. Apparently in order for it to work, you also need to eat well and exercise. Shocking.
Also they recommend using backup contraception while you drink the tea. Shady.0 -

I'm 5"5 just under 350 I've lost around 14 lbs in the last 4 weeks . MFP cals are 1900 and I do my best to stay closer to 1200 I also try so hard to eat clean 5 to 6 meals daily and walk a mile 3x a week. However the last 2 weeks although I logged calories I ate pretty bad food that I am sure is blocking me, which is why I decided to detox. Anyone tried anything like this?
Think of weight loss is a marathon not a sprint. Because losing weight is going to take awhile, settle in and do the things you can live with long term.
Eating less than 1900 calories is not necessary. Eating "clean" whatever your definition is not necessary. 5-6 meals a day is not necessary. If you like these things, then carry on. Detox teas give you very short term results (diuretics & laxatives) - but no fat loss.
"Bad" food is not blocking you. I make room for a treat every single day. I don't want a too strict diet to lead to falling off the wagon completely. I allow myself some breathing room. We don't need to be perfect to lose weight, we just need to improve.
Walking is great exercise - keep up the good work!
Thanks for the reply. Clean to me is I don't add salt to anything I eat fresh veggies , grilled chicken and fish I make awesome turkey meals I eat a lot but due to me not adding sugars, salts or fatty oils my calorie in take is low. But I eat all day and a lot. Instead of having a meal replacement bar at 200 cals I have some fish lettuce wraps and grapefruit instead. I also drink close to 100 oz of water daily. When doing this I feel great when going to the restroom but the last two weeks my fatty foods like pizza, hot chicken from KFC, chips, burgers those items had little impact on my normal bowel movements its like I didn't even have my morning release the same. That's why I wanted a good detox to help me rid of that stuff I feel is weighing me down. It will not be apart of my healthy habits because when I'm eating well I don't feel blocked.
People can and do lose weight when eating fast food. I don't eat fast food everyday, because I can get more nourishment from home made meals. But that does not mean I will spend a year, or two with zero pizza, zero burgers, or zero fried chicken. These are "sometimes" foods (for me) no longer daily foods.
A fast food meal here or there "will not block you up." Too low fiber will block you up, too low fat will block you up, too little movement will block you up, too little hydration will block you up. So many other reasons.
The point of my original post - everyone has a different definition of clean eating. If there are a hundred different definitions, then it's obviously not necessary for weight loss.
Extreme changes to ones diet (elimination diets) are very often temporary. Losing weight is just the first step in your journey. That's when permanent lifestyle changes will come into play. Will you be eating fish lettuce wraps and no added sugar for the rest of your life? Instead of extreme dietary changes, perhaps look at some changes you can keep for a lifetime.

It's not. If you're bloated or retaining water from extra salt, the best thing you can do is drink more water (not laxative tea).0 -

The birthday and the cruise don't make any difference - you've gotten great advice here. You should either take the advice or quit rationalizing all the reasons you "need" the laxative tea in order to fish for things you'd like to hear.
No one with any sense is going to tell you to drink the poop tea.0 -

I eat everything I just choose to eat food the majority of the time that gives me good nutrition that's it. When I eat the examples I gave I physically feel better, inside and out. I have energy, I move faster I think better so why wouldn't I pass up the big Mac instead of having it once every couple months.0 -

This^^
Why does everyone seem to think that telling someone that something is a (very) bad idea is bashing?
Admittedly, it's frustrating when all the advice seems to fall on deaf ears, and perhaps that frustration was reflected in my post, but OP you should listen to what the others are trying to tell you.
It's not our job to give permission, but I feel like it is important to advise against laxative abuse (and yes, using a laxative as a "detox" is still laxative abuse, just with a more socially acceptable name), even if just for the lurkers.
OP you're an adult and will do what you're going to do, but it's important that others reading this thread understand what a silly idea it is.0 -

No not everyone but a few who did not have the chance to read my other comments which go into more detail about what I eat how much water I drink etc... Someone said I'm looking for approval and so on. And that's not it I was not asking if it was good I was asking for them to share their experiences.0 -
Maybe "things" haven't moved much lately because you aren't eating much.
Over the last two weeks I ate a lot like as if I was not trying to ficus though I logged I still ate so much gross food back to back. Not constipated you know how if you have a,green smoothie or some fiber you ho #2 and have an easy release that's like wow I see the,light lol well when I eat poorly no mater the caloric intake I poop but its like not the same. Another member mention some potassium and magnesium I didn't know that could,help with like my salt stuff0 -

Senna tea is a laxative. It's not judgemental to state the fact that one simply cannot poop oneself into losing weight. It doesn't help one detox or jumpstart or balance anything.
Too many people here have been through the gimmicks and quick fixes and fads, and would love to help others avoid those mistakes. But some people will continue to hope they'll be the exception.0 -

People do all kinds of crazy things as they hear it might benefit them. Apple cider vinegar is one of those things. The issue with these types of programs is that being a laxative based tea, it can cause problems such as electrolyte imbalances since it will cause bathroom issue.
Personally, i would focus on many other things prior to trying a detox. If you need help regulating yourself, i would suggest probiotics or a yogurt like Activia. If your goal is to eat better in general, i would focus on whole foods; fish, unsaturated meats, legumes, whole grains (higher fiber is better, IMO), dairy, fruits, vegetables, and occasionally bring in a treat.0 -
In my experience, anything containing senna caused horrible cramps.0

Think of weight loss is a marathon not a sprint. Because losing weight is going to take awhile, settle in and do the things you can live with long term.
Eating less than 1900 calories is not necessary. Eating "clean" whatever your definition is not necessary. 5-6 meals a day is not necessary. If you like these things, then carry on. Detox teas give you very short term results (diuretics & laxatives) - but no fat loss.
"Bad" food is not blocking you. I make room for a treat every single day. I don't want a too strict diet to lead to falling off the wagon completely. I allow myself some breathing room. We don't need to be perfect to lose weight, we just need to improve.
Walking is great exercise - keep up the good work!
^This.

Some things really are unhealthy. Misusing laxatives, for example, is unhealthy. Additionally, if your problem is with sodium, laxatives aren't going to help.
ACV does nothing - I repeat, nothing - to "detox" when ingested before meals (or after meals).
Most of us either are or were on your same journey.
Using laxatives for weight loss is not healthy, or even a workable solution to a problem caused by sodium. That's not judgment. That's science.
Signed, someone who lost 100+ lbs, who knows how hard it is, who can sympathize without judging.0 -

I'm 5"5 just under 350 I've lost around 14 lbs in the last 4 weeks . MFP cals are 1900 and I do my best to stay closer to 1200 I also try so hard to eat clean 5 to 6 meals daily and walk a mile 3x a week. However the last 2 weeks although I logged calories I ate pretty bad food that I am sure is blocking me, which is why I decided to detox. Anyone tried anything like this?
Think of weight loss is a marathon not a sprint. Because losing weight is going to take awhile, settle in and do the things you can live with long term.
Eating less than 1900 calories is not necessary. Eating "clean" whatever your definition is not necessary. 5-6 meals a day is not necessary. If you like these things, then carry on. Detox teas give you very short term results (diuretics & laxatives) - but no fat loss.
"Bad" food is not blocking you. I make room for a treat every single day. I don't want a too strict diet to lead to falling off the wagon completely. I allow myself some breathing room. We don't need to be perfect to lose weight, we just need to improve.
Walking is great exercise - keep up the good work!
^This.
Truthful, straightforward, honest, encouraging
Thanks a lot.0 -

Did I mention its my birthday Monday and everyone wants to ho to dinner plus I have a cruise in 3 weeks???
The birthday and the cruise don't make any difference - you've gotten great advice here. You should either take the advice or quit rationalizing all the reasons you "need" the laxative tea in order to fish for things you'd like to hear.
No one with any sense is going to tell you to drink the poop tea.
Oh wow I'm sorry not rationalizing. I was not seeking permission just seeking people who could relate and may have advice for while drinking. If you read my other comments you will see I am well aware of what it takes to live a healthy lifestyle. This will not be apart of my regular diet in fact I don't diet at all read more of my comments. But thanks for the reply
So you want to do an unhealthy thing and you want people who have also done an unhealthy thing to comment?
I don't view it as unhealthy this journey is all interpretive. Some people drink apple cider vinegar before meals basically to detox I don't do that because I just don't some researchers say that's not ok some researchers say counting calories instead of a full lifestyle change is unhealthy because people will start being to focus and not paying attention to nutrition. I don't tell anyone if something is unhealthy because hell even lettuce these days is a problem unless you get it from specific farms lol.

Thanks for this advice, I'm still losing and I've too lost almost 100 pounds yes I was even bigger than this lol that's why I know its a lifestyle change and I was not looking for a quick fix with numbers but in searching for ways to get rid of excess trash . most people get colonics aren't these teas cheaper ways of the same thing? Even though I don't think it works that way because I only feel a better burn when working our and slightly more energy but it doesn't make you go poo at least not me anyways. I would love to follow your journey maybe motivate one another.0 -
Yeah I've tried those teas, they didn't make one bit of difference in the toileting department, even when i doubled the dose. They didn't help with weight loss either.0
